Elements from the Pikmin series have appeared in several other Nintendo games. The Super Smash Bros. series in particular is well-known for having references to multitudes of Nintendo series and, more recently, those of other companies.
Games
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Of this game's nearly 300 trophies two are based on Pikmin. One features a group of standing Pikmin of the three colors that are present in the first game in the series, while the other is a trophy of Captain Olimar that can only be obtained if you have a Pikmin save on your memory card.
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
If the player hits the ball into a Flower Bed, the three Pikmin types from the first game will fly out.
Nintendogs
In all 6 versions of this game, at the second-hand shop, there is a Red Bulborb toy on a shelf of products in a some pre-rendered background shots.
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
In The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker the 3 godess statues resemble Red, Yellow, and Blue Pikmin.The statues all have a pole sticking out of their head and The Din statue has a nose,The Farore statue has ears, and The Naryu statue has a crack where the mouth should be.
Warioware: Smooth Moves
The Empress Bulblax makes a cameo appearance in the game WarioWare: Smooth Moves, wherein the player must tilt the Wii-mote to roll the beast from side to side in an endeavour to squash Pikmin. This mini-game is called "Pikmin 2", and the background music is the music played on the demo screens in Pikmin 1. The same music is also used as the "Louie's Dark Secret" theme in Pikmin 2.thumb|300px|left|wario is a retard
Super Mario Galaxy
In the Space Junk Galaxy, there is a ship that bears great resemblance to The Ship in Pikmin 2. It serves no purpose other than as a planetoid between planetoids, part of the level. It is not a precise recreation, and there has been debate over whether it is indeed modelled on the Pikmin ship or whether any similarities are coincidence. The main features that allow a connection to be drawn are the colors, three fins and two bubble-shaped cockpit windows.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the latest and third installment in Nintendo's cross-series 3D fighting game. It is the only series where Pikmin elements have exceeded a couple of trophies, most notably for the inclusion of Olimar as a playable character.
Animal Crossing
In Wild World, there is an item called "Pikmin". When you touch it, it'll say "Pikmin", like it does at the start of Pikmin 2.
In City Folk, the same items appears, as well as a DLC-exclusive red Pikmin hat, to commemorate the release of NPC! Pikmin.
